Newlands Restaurant

Take in the moment at Morii

Let The Vineyard’s signature restaurant transport you to the warmth of Italy, expressed through Cape Town’s seasons and sense of place. A celebration of flavour, craft, and connection invites you to pause, linger, and savour something timelessly familiar, yet distinctly Morii.

Morii

Inspired by Italy, grounded in Cape Town

Share a platter of Italian charcuterie, savour a reimagined Caprese, enjoy wood-fired pizzas, and end with a tiramisu that feels like pure comfort. Pair it all with Cape and Italian wines, or a beautifully balanced Negroni.

The Morii Dining Experience

A meeting of people and places

When evening falls, Morii becomes a space of ease and belonging where Italian generosity meets Cape freshness. Indulge in a reimagined Caprese, cold-fermented, wood-fired pizzas made with Caputo flour, and a tiramisu that captures everything comforting about the classic. Every dish pairs perfectly with Cape and Italian wines, or a Negroni mixed just right.

Morii is proudly part of the Vineyard culinary team recognised in the Inter Hotel Challenge 2025 with the KitchenAid Africa Best Team award.
